By solicitations of numerous friends, as we'll as an invitation through your paper, I will try, at least for a while. to give few items from our progressive little town. Among the many improve ments at thus place during the past few months, is. the erection of a fine ssw-mill and g,n by Mess. A. D. Mcdaniel & Sons. Thus Mill and gin IS conceded to bc the best con- structed house of its kind in the C unty.
 Mess. Williams X Scott have put up a general merchandise store and seem to be taking the lead in the Mercantile business here.
 Several nice dwellings are being erected at this place. Among them Dr. J. A. Williams is putting up one. The work is being done by tie joyial sad ingenius Jim Hoibush. of Haynes.
 MT. $. F. Mcdaniel IS havIng the lumber put on the ground for his new dwelhng, Mir. Williamson being the contractor. Several other dwellings are beng agitated, and will doubtless go np soon.
 There is some sickness in the eounty. Among the number is Esq. James II. Thompson and hls little granddaughter, Julia Rod gers.
 Capt. w. II. Mcdaniel and his charming little children were down last Saturday being the first visit

A MOVE has been made in Chicago to erect monument to the memory of the seven policemen who were murder ed at the Haymarket by the anarchists. The Chicago Mail, in furtherine the movement, says: The men whose blood was shed in the Haymarket suffered in as great cause as ever &C., tuated human effort. They settled there an issue which, had it's settle ment been postponed, might have cost many more lives and vastly more suffering, and those who now sleep in peace, safe from the terrors of the mob, ought to contribute cheerfully to perpetuate the memory of their bravery"

A LADY contributor to an exchange sends the following: "It takes much grAfrng, and pruning, and watering. and training, and digging and tender care to produce the perfect plant. And it takes all this, and more, to produce the comparatively perfect woman. As to the perfect man--there are none of him. Al the care in the world, all the money on earth, all the water in the sea, wsuld not produce even a dim likeness of that unknown creature.

Give Them a Chance.

That is to say, your lungs. Also all your breathing machinery. Very wonderful machinery it Is. Not only the larger air passages, but the thou sands of little tubes and cavities lead ing from them.
 When these are clogged and choked with matter which ought not to be there, your lungs cannot half do their work. And what they do they cannot do we'll.
 Call it cold, cough, eroup, pnea- monia, catarrh. consumption, 0r any of the family of throat and nose and head and lung obstructions, all are bad. All ought to be got rid of. There Is just one sure way to get rid of them. That is to take Boscbees German Syrup, which any druggist will sell you at "a cents a bottle. Even fl everything else has failed you, you may depend upon this for certain.

ITEM PIE NCE COLUMN.

l have long had the conviction tbat there is no greater cause of evil, moral and physical, in th,s county than tho use of alcoholic beverages. After more than twenty years of professional life, I have no hesitation m attributng q very large proportion of some of the most painful and dan gerous maladies, which have come under my notice, to the ordinary and daily use of fermehted drink, taken in the quantity which is con- additionally deemed moderate...... There is no single habi. in this country which so much tends to doterlorato the qualities of the race, and SO much disqualifies it for endurancc.-Dr. Thomson, F. R $. and Surgeon Extraordinary to the King of the Belgians.
 There are more men killed, so far as know English sta,istics- more men poisoned by alcohol, than are poisoned by all other poisons put together. James Ed munds, M. D., London, Eng.
 Alcohol IS universally ranked among poisons by physIologists, chemists. physicians and all who have expcrimented. studied and written upon the suhject Pro- lessor Youmans.
 We havo great horror of arsenic. and fifty other things; the fact IS, all tLese things are mere bagat-lle in relation to the most direct, absolute, immediate and certain poisonlDgs which are caused by alcohol.

TIE New York World says that the boosted and terrible phalanx of an- archists" in that city are a miserable lot of cranks, half-fed, dirty, coarse, for the most part ignorant and stupid, guzzling vile beer in cheap dens, and listening to harangues of men whose shifting eyes, sneaking gait and hang dog expression would earn them a rope before any intelligent vigilance committee.
